NFC Menu Card

What is an NFC menu card?

An NFC menu card is a printed card placed on restaurant and café tables, with the link to your digital menu written inside it. The guest taps their phone on the card and your menu opens. There is no need to reprint to change the printed menu or update prices.

Advantages

• Price and item changes are made in the digital menu; the card stays the same
• The plastic card can be wiped clean; it is hygienic and durable
• A QR code is printed on the same card; phones without NFC open it via QR
• A table number can be printed separately on each card (variable printing)

How does it stay on the table?

The card can be stuck to the table, or placed on a stand or next to the napkin holder. We can also prepare it as a set together with a table stand; request a quote for this.

How do I order?

• On the NFC card page, choose the printing (single / double sided) and the quantity.
• Under the NFC encoding option, choose “Write the link” or “Write and lock the link”. You provide the link after ordering, from your order page.
• If each card needs a different link, choose the Variable Data option; you provide the links after ordering as an Excel list.
• Before production, we write the cards with our own reader and test them one by one.

Locked or unlocked?

Once a card is locked, its link can never be changed again; nobody can redirect the card to another address. If your link might change in the future, do not lock it, or use a redirect page on your own domain: the card always opens the same address, and you change the redirect.

Which phones can read it?

Almost all Android phones with NFC, and iPhone XS and later, read the card without an app. For phones that have NFC switched off or have no NFC, we recommend also printing a QR code of the same link on the card.
